Re: Convert a tube to sheet metal.
Managed to get Onshape to do what I want how I want it.I had to exclude a lot of faces making the process overly complicated. Because the part cant unfold (like tubes cant) I get a warning. Left = Sketch(inner and outer region) + extrude/add + extrude/remove +sheetmetal/convert(exclude all upper, lower and inner faces +… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - April 22, 2015
Brilliant. This is a protein-packed package, I reckon. I really like the look of the UI for the sketch pattern tool, for a start. I would habitually roll my eyes when using the Sldwks one, (it wasn't just the UI, in that case, but it was tragic) and dreaded being asked by others to demistify it. My fervent wish was that… -

Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 1st, 2019
Youghee, https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/5448/hole-feature-integrate-placement-facility#latest has been completed. What an elegant way to locate the holes ‘on the fly’ without the need of sketching points first. It is even possible now to drill the holes slanting. However, then arises an undercut. The workaround is… -
Re: Can someone make / Teach me how to make this simple script?
@Jake_Rosenfeld thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for, it looks like I was on the right track as far as strategy, except I wasn't thinking about transform / boolean subtract. I was gonna sketch everything in a loop and extrude cut at the end... I see why this way is much better. The biggest problem I have been… -
Cutting holes into a cylinder at 45 degree angles from Top and Right panes
Document in question: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4c05c3523a6a7c8d5ed80c89/w/60605ddad228f2dc08782818/e/c2ad04f162bb72aa2438886f I need to add some holes to a cylinder and I am having a hard time figuring out how to sketch those on when I cant seem to get a sketch plane created at a 45 degree angle. The holes need to… -
Re: Axes convention
Here's a related point I just noticed today. When one of the construction planes is renamed (say from "Top" to "Floor"), subsequent references generated within Onshape to that plane are still referred (say when Extruding "Up to Surface") to the original name, ie "Top" In this case, I think there is a strong argument which… -
Re: Top-Down Design webinar pre-questions?
2017-3-21 9:2 created In-context & a Top Level Assy I'm trying to put together a top level assembly for a plumbing system. These systems are fairly difficult to assemble for reasons we'll be discussing in detail. It's been decided that this structure will be in-context involving an assembly. Cleaning up existing geometry… -
Re: Part Studio Methodology
To make Onshape's approach clearer: A Part Studio allows you to define the shape of multiple parts using one parametric history. Most other systems allow you to create the shape of one part using a parametric history. Onshape does not in any way prevent you from defining one part per part studio and then assembling it in… -
Re: Example create a slot feature code, doesn't go through part
Okay, I can reproduce the failure now. Looks like an issue with through-all extrudes in general. I've filed a bug for you. Thanks for reporting!
